WHEELS!! tyres and other stuff :D
Hey all,
Finally, after 2 years of ownership I managed to get my wheels fitted
It's been so long since I got them I better remind you what they are: Work Meister S2r's 17" 8.5JJ ET33 (forged ) powdercoated in Titanium.
Completing the look are Muteki Super Tuning lug nuts in blue and a brand new set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's in 215/45/17
All I need now is a set of centre caps. I thought I had got a cheap set on ebay but on fitting the were fractionally too small
Have also spruced up my interior with a set of chrome rings for the cluster guages, painted to match the wheels in Titanium
Painted the surround black as it had been scratched a bit on the side with keys by the previous owner of course! Although it has kinda highlighted the fact that the top of the steering wheel boss is a bit scuffed too, so will need to get that done too. Which means the lower half is gonna have to get the same treatment...and the air bag......
Bit too early to comment on the tyres as they are barely run in but tyre roar has massively decreased compared to the previous Continental Sport Contacts in 225/45/16, plus the suspension seems to cope better with bumps suggesting that the wheels are much lighter than my old ones despite being an inch bigger!
Happy days
